Pinless-Navigated Versus Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty
Radiographic Analysis Comparing Pinless-Navigated and Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The success of total knee arthroplasty depends on a number of factors including pre-operative range of movement, obesity, medical comorbidities, prosthesis design, preparation and implantation of the prosthesis, soft tissue balancing, as well as implants alignment. Optimal placement of the implants within 3° of the mechanical axis of the lower limb has been proven to reduce wear and early implant failure.
Compared to conventional techniques, computer-Aided Navigation total knee arthroplasty has been widely used in the last decade and have been proven to improve the accuracy of prosthesis placement and lower limb alignment by reducing the number of outliers with more than 3° deviation from the mechanical axis. However, its use also involves a steep learning curve, high initial capital cost and longer duration of surgery.
Traditional computer-navigated TKA using optical tracking systems also requires fixation of the femoral and tibial reference arrays to bone using anchoring pins. Complications reported with the use of these pins include either femoral or tibial fracture, pin site pain, pin site infection and osteomyelitis. The investigators study aims to investigate the accuracy of a new pinless navigation system for TKA that will avoid these complications.
